    You must be in the (small) mass production line. If my maths is correct that is 64 wheels plus any extras you might have made.

    They have come up really nicely. How big are they and do you make up the metal lifting ring or are they adapted from something off the shelf?

    Always so hard to gauge size from photos without another familiar item in the picture to compare with.
